Police are investigating a virtual sexual assault of a girl’s avatar, the chair of the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners has said.
Donna Jones said she had learned that a complaint was made in 2023, triggering a police inquiry.
The virtual incident did not result in physical harm but caused “psychological trauma”, the Daily Mail has reported a source as saying. Police chiefs have called on platforms to do more to protect their users.

The impact of the attack on the girl’s avatar was said to be heightened because of the immersive nature of the VR experience.
So edgy teens and pedos, gotcha.
Paedophiles tend to do worse things than this, if they offend.
Well there was that scandal on YouTube some years ago where it turned out that they would make comments with secret codes on videos of children so that others could search for the comments and watch the content they wanted. Things like children swimming, I guess.
Basically yea. I’m not condoning it and the company who owns the vr should do something about it but there’s something sus about them doing a whole investigation about this. I literally get the same thing done to my every time I play league by people spamming animations and I don’t have cops investigating. Sounds like this person has powerful parents or connections.
Or possibly just the right Karen getting attention?
Given that the primary, and indeed apparently the only, source for this appears to be a red top that is a highly likely scenario.
